You have YLF orders! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435379 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 23:37:44 +0000 Deborah 435379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, it's a gorgeous dress. Would love to see you in it if you can get your hands on one. Color would be lovely for you and I think it really reflects your style well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435270 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:21:59 +0000 Ornella 435270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, this one *is* great Suz, I remember it from the the post, the color is stunning. So is the style, it actually reminds me of my mum's dresses a lot - so do many that I see in the stores at the moment, which is why I am extra eager to get my hands on some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435267 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:16:14 +0000 Suz 435267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una is right about this. That dress would be killer on you. And also great for MOTG. </p> <p>In spirit it reminds me of one of the ones that Angie posted: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eliza-j-ponte-knit-shift-dress/3192779?cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_pla=10&#038;cm_ite=1&#038;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-sMNX0QXbTd3aYcjdePHesA" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/el.....YcjdePHesA</a></p> <p>I know it's longer, and belted, but it feels like a similar type of dress, interpreted for a taller woman. I do hope you're able to buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435207 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 18:34:12 +0000 Ornella 435207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, big hug, what a lovely comment Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435199 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 18:09:12 +0000 catgirl 435199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, I think you know yourself well enough that when you love something, chances are it is right for you. Please do try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435195 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:44:53 +0000 Ornella 435195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, that's exactly it!</p> <p>I'll find my way to the store one of these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435188 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:27:57 +0000 rute 435188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress, I bougth a similar one in H&amp;M but in black (they only had black). Can you take a pic with the dress for us to decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435183 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:17:08 +0000 Scarlet 435183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In case the dress comes back in stock, I just wanted to mention that this year I bought a dress with the belted waist a bit high (like on the model). It was a military sleeved sheath style. It got a killer rating from Angie and positive feedback on the forum. I think I just felt weird because the waist was higher than I was used to, and at first for that reason I thought it didn't fit right, but with the positive YLF reassurance I kept it, and I love wearing it now. Could be a similar issue here? That blue dress is seriously gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435150 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:27:40 +0000 Heather 435150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HRH O: Let's see a photo of you in this gorgeous frock! I bet it will be terrific. I do love you in Cobalt, Royal Lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435144 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:21:25 +0000 MsMary 435144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a thing wrong with a slightly high waist.</p> <p>And your little guy is adorable!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435122 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:30:28 +0000 Ornella 435122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too bright. The colors on my photo are changed a bit. My son's clothes are very red IRL, yet on the photo they appear quite orangey - if that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435121 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:25:28 +0000 Astrid 435121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ornella! I've just seen that they still have all the petite sizes. I could actually order this one. Mmh. Maybe the blue is too bright for me. It looks more muted in your picture. Did you think the color very bright? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435112 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:11:38 +0000 Ornella 435112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, it's the UK department store <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_028010564444_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EWomen%7EDresses">Debenhams' own</a> brand. They have some amazing things this year.</p> <p>ETA: Ooops, just saw that size 14 is sold out on-line. Nice &gt;;-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435108 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:03:39 +0000 Astrid 435108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I've just seen it and I LOVE that dress, it's like the perfect blue dress. Can I ask where you've seen it? I'd love to see a pic of you with it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435106 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:58:07 +0000 Ornella 435106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time for lunch break shopping then, sometimes this week...</p> <p>I am not sure if the wider belt would work - if I put it on I have a feeling the dress would be pulling up all the time and I'd end up putting things back in order also all the time. And the top hem of the waistband would not be covered, potentially making it all a bit (?) messy. I don't know. I guess I'll just have to try that.</p> <p>Thanks ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435104 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:42:04 +0000 Janet 435104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sylvia, and dianthus makes a good point about belting. Love the color! </p> <p>I can see this being beautiful on you -- please try it again and share a photo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435101 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:38:36 +0000 Sylvia 435101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually quite like how it looks on the model. Waist is indeed a bit higher but that makes the dress also a bit different... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435099 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:33:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 435099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a gorgeous color, sleeves and waist detail. If you put a slightly wider belt, would it minimize the waist issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-want-this-dress-but#post-435098 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:24:13 +0000 Ornella 435098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...it's cut for regular size lady, not tall. That means the proportions are slightly off and the waist band does not sit on my natural waist (or where one should be if I didn't have rectangular tendencies) and is closer to empire line.</p> <p>It's wonderful though and I can't stop thinking about it. Heavy ponte knit, gorgeous color, good length (midi on regulars, on the knee for me), it's got sleeves and the cut is just beautiful. I really loved what it looked like on me (apart from the waist issue).</p> <p>I haven't taken the photo in the changing room, but on me it looks more like on the model (photo 1) than on the mannequin in the shop (photo 2).</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
